Lokman, I am partially with you, but not whole heartedly. I think it all depends on what the intentions are behind the king's move. If the king indeed has good intentions, and is marching towards a democratic Nepal, but feels that he has to cleanse the system and get rid of the current corrupt Nepali leadership, then I am with him. However, as we all know, leadership starts from the top and you have to set a personal example yourself. So, before he points fingers at others, he needs to clean up his own house. By that, I mean hold Paras responsible for his actions and not reward him with the crown, just because he is his son. Since we don't know what the king's intentions are, I am happy to see that US, EU, and India are pressuring the king. If Nepalis outside Nepal, and these nations don't hold the king responsible, then all we'll have is hope. Hope that the king indeed has good intentions and wont stray from his path. Given what we know or don't know about him, that may be too much to hope for. B_D.
